THUMBS UP to the City of Troy Elected Officials for the purchase of 110 E. Market Street to make way for a public parking lot serving the downtown area. This has been something that the city has needed for quite a while. Would love to see more mom-and-pop shops and/or restaurants in the downtown area.
